This isn't real multitask...

I really hope Laura knows she was being a part of a review for Iphone 4, because that is the most awkward conversation I have ever seen in my life...

Yeah...that's called running.  It doesn't close it

It's really fast application switching since nothing really runs in the background, it only pauses the programs.

It doesn't go where u left off because of low ram. It only has 512mb. It may put an icon in recently used apps but it doesn't mean they are running. And the android comment is wrong...on gingerbread and froyo you are limited to 8 recent used apps by home long press but honeycomb and ics activities are not limited til os kills them to keep ram optimized

Go for N9 if you want true multitasking! N9 FTW...

Well, I know that for Android, you got 8 recent apps maximum for multitasking, and so if you play a game, and hit the home button, it go back home, and you can do something else and you can come back exactly where you left the game by long pressing the home button. Now though, Android limits its multitasking apps to only 8 apps, which means if your recent app that you quit was like the 9th app, and it won't show up in the recent app list by long pressing the home button, then you can't resume to

... where you left the app off, so for iPhone, I know that the multitasking tray is like unlimited, but I have tried out and tap on an app that was used LONG TIME ago on the multitasking tray and it doesn't go to where I left off (example: pause a game and when come back, it doesn't come to where I pause but from the new game - again the game have been quit for a LONG TIME ago but still showed in the multitasking tray) so I wanna know what's the limit of number of apps for multitasking on iOS?

WebOS had the BEST multitasking ever...R.I.P. Palm WebOs

@DoctorTREX why not? im confused... what is "real" multitasking then? i thought that multitasking is when you can do more than one thing at once..
